Holmium Enucleation of the Prostate (HoLEP)

Holmium Enucleation of the prostate is the gold standard treatment for Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH), a common condition found in men between the ages of 50-90.

Symptoms of BPH may include: weak urinary stream, getting up frequently at night, going often during the daytime, strong urgency to go to the restroom, or even urinary incontinence.

Why choose HoLEP?

Minimally invasive: There are no incisions and it is done in an outpatient surgery center. Surgery takes between 1-3 hours depending on prostate size, and you will go home the same day.
Convenient with quick recovery: You will take out your catheter the next day at home. There are no restrictions after surgery, return to normal life.
Effective: Just have something done once! There is not a more effective treatment. The chance of needing another surgery or medication after HoLEP surgery is only 2% at 20 years! 98% of men will never need anything done again.
- Other treatments (TURP, Urolift, Aquablation, Rezum) have worse retreatment rates. Within just a few years, ~10-50% of men who choose a treatment other than HoLEP may require another surgery or require medications to help urinate.
Sexual function: HoLEP does not affect sexual function (erections, orgasm, or penile sensation).
Patient satisfaction: Most men report that if they had known what surgery was like, and how it would change their life for the better, they would have done it years ago.
